Yellow notices are going up around town; they say Images are being
recorded for the purpose of public safety and crime prevention. Its a lie.
That is why the taxpayer may have been agreeable to their installation but its
not the use planned for them in future. The small print of the councils cuts
document says that the cameras are to be used for prosecuting yellow line offences. The
justification is to get Value for money from the C.C.T.V. system. That means maximising
revenue but it would be blatantly illegal to admit that so your lying council
doesnt. Almost needless to say, councillor Craske is behind this sly
manipulation of the language. Look at the bigger pictures if you dont believe it.

While I was taking this photo, as is often the case, someone asked me what I was
doing and then rushed to his car to show me a Bexley Penalty Charge Notice for
having parked in Erith beyond his time. The P.C.N. was timed 13:08, his paid-for
ticket pinned to it clearly stated valid until 13:37 on the same day. I told him about the
appeals process but he knew about that already. More of our money wasted. Another (Thamesmead,
I read it on the ticket) resident harassed and put to a lot of trouble for nothing.
